| contents | This paper explores the development of a control and sensor strategy for an industrial wearable wrist exoskeleton by classifying and predicting workers' actions. The study evaluates the correlation between exerted force and effort intensity, along with sensor strategy optimization, for designing purposes. Using data from six healthy subjects in a manufacturing plant, this paper presents EMG-based models for wrist motion classification and force prediction. Wrist motion recognition is achieved through a pattern recognition algorithm developed with surface EMG data from an 8-channel EMG sensor (Myo Armband); while a force regression model uses wrist and hand force measurements from a commercial handheld dynamometer (Vernier GoDirect Hand Dynamometer). This control strategy forms the foundation for a streamlined exoskeleton architecture designed for industrial applications, focusing on simplicity, reduced costs, and minimal sensor use while ensuring reliable and effective assistance. |
